About Us
Hold Fast Reptiles and Exotics was hatched by Shane Weakley in a small shop off of W Apache Trail in 2018. The following year, Hold Fast outgrew its skin, and molted to its current home at 90S Ironwood Dr, Apache Junction, Arizona. Over the next couple years, Shane, together with shop manager, Declan McKinney, and animal whisperer, Damon Gaudette, grew the shop to eventually take over the whole building.
Now, in the autumn of 2021, Shane and Hold Fast are proud to announce that Declan has become managing partner/owner, with Shane stepping back to a mentor role, as he branches out to explore new opportunities and adventures.
Declan and Damon, along with Brett, Kristal and Brandon, appreciate their continuing opportunity to serve the AJ reptile community, and to welcome you to stop by with any questions, stock up on supplies and feeders, and see some of the coolest cold-bloodeds you can imagine!
